How to save utf-8(ñ) in file_put_contents?

Question

This code is working. it saves the photo using webcam.js. the problem is when I'm saving file with the file name of Peña its not working. I got a result of PeÃ±a.jpg or Pe?a.jpg file name. but in the database I got it right(peña).

The problem is on the file_put_contents and rename function.

 $photoname = $_POST['photoname'];
    $date1 = date('Ymd');
    $photo_file = 'photos/'.$date.'/'.$date."".$photoname.".jpg";
    $encoded_data = $_POST['mydata'];
    $binary_data = base64_decode( $encoded_data );

    if (!is_dir('photos/' . $month)) {
      // dir doesn't exist, make it
      mkdir('photos/' . $month);
    }

    /*get the image */
    $result = file_put_contents($photo_file, $binary_data);

rename function (its also working without special characters).

$fname = utf8_decode($_POST['fname']);
$mname = utf8_decode($_POST['mname']);
$lname = utf8_decode($_POST['lname']);

$photo_old = $_POST['photopath'];
$photoname = utf8_decode(strtolower($fname. ''. $mname.''.$lname));
$date1 = date('Ymd');
$month = date('Ymd');
$photo_final = 'photos/'.$month.'/'.$date1."".$photoname.".jpg";
rename($photo_old, $photo_final);

result:

Warning: rename(photos/20150929/20150929PeÃ±a.jpg,photos/20150930/20150930Pe?a.jpg)

What OS / filesystem? Are you sure it supports UTF-8 filenames? — lafor, Sep 29 '15 at 07:41

Long story short: it's better not to try, and use ASCII-only filenames. You can save the Unicode filename in a database as metadata or such. — deceze, Sep 29 '15 at 07:45
